Notes:
- Some of these recipes may be too hot or spicy for you. Reduce the chili powder/green chilies to suit your taste.
- To make methi, coriander or jeera powder, dry roast the spices (without oil) in a saucepan for a few minutes and then grind to a powder.
- To chop onions or other vegetables, the Sunbeam Oscar mini food processor does a great job!
- If using dried curry leaves, soak them in water for a few minutes before use.
- Most of these curries freeze well. Freeze in small plastic containers with tight lids (1 to 2 servings) and heat in a MW covered for 4-5 minutes. Add some more spices and salt and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
